Maybe.  It depends have much flexibility you want.  If you're happy with YOU 
it's fine, but if you want to easily obtain rpms from for example 
packman.links4linux.de, or pkgs that are provided by suse employees, you 
can't reach them with YOU.  With apt this is possible.

Another situation is where you maintain different distribitions.  Apt can run 
on all of them, YOU only on SuSE.  Having the same interface on different 
systems is quite handy.
